By Kate Elliott
Everyone loves fresh food that's so clean and healthy, you can practically taste the health benefits. But let's be honest. Dishes like that are difficult to make every night. People are busy, they have to work, and sometimes bringing all that fresh food together just isn't a reality. Enter the recipe below. This dish may not use all fresh ingredients, but it sure is delicious, and quick too.
Canned salmon comes together with frozen peas and it all swims in a cream of mushroom soup that, you guessed it, also comes from a can. It's just like the casseroles your mom used to make but, dare we say, it may even be a little healthier? Salmon has tons of nutrition benefits, and you don't always have to worry about deboning one or taking the skin off yourself. Simply buy canned salmon, and you'll reap all the benefits - including the delicious taste - with none of the muss or fuss.
